It is reported that former Health Minister and United National Party (UNP) General Secretary Tissa Attanayake was bailed out while ago with two sureties of Rs. 1 million each.

Mr. Tissa Attanayake had been arrested by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) based on reports that Attanayake showed an alleged stealthy pact letter said to have signed between President Maithripala Sirisena and Prime Minister Ranil Wickramasinghe prior to the recently concluded Presidential Election.
